This recording contains three guided meditation practices. Each meditation is about 20 minutes long. There is also an introduction on how to prepare for meditation, including tips on how to manage intrusive thoughts. Meditation Made Easy is an ideal introduction to successful meditation practice.
1. Mantra Meditation
You are guided step by step through this practice. Michael's calming voice, together with a gentle blend of background music leads you to profoundly deep levels of rest. The mantra is repeated silently as a focus or anchor for the mind, helping to calm the insistent mental chatter.
2. Mindfulness Meditation
You are guided into deep relaxation and then into a progressive sequence of 'witnessing'. Awareness is maintained in the present moment, observing how sensation moves and changes within the body.
3. Loving Kindness Meditation
Based on an ancient Buddhist practice, this meditation encourages the expression of compassion towards ourselves, our loved ones and ultimately to all sentient beings. Repeated practice brings greater self acceptance, moving us beyond separateness and embracing a new depth of kindness and care for each other.
